Today our entrepreneurs from the school store opened for business! Every Friday now, they will be selling fun school themed items to raise money for something to buy the school. Last year, they bought new GaGa balls! Their grand opening was a success and they are excited for a new year of business! Way to go bobcats!

A highlight of every week for me is having bobcats come to my office to read to me. These first graders wrote special stories in their journals they wanted to come share with me. Of course, they all get a "magic pencil" to keep writing more stories! Way to go bobcats!

Thank you to Mrs. Hewitt, our fabulous literacy specialist, who spoke at PTO last night. She shared her list of "Do's and Don'ts" while supporting our children's reading growth. Her presentation will be posted to the PTO page on our Bethke website soon. While we recognize International Literacy Month, we thank Mrs. Hewitt for all she does for Bethke Elementary!
